Abstract

An electrical isolation barrier for use in a Data Access Arrangement uses a high frequency (HF) transformer (24) to provide isolation. An input signal (21), which may be analog or digital, is connected to a modulator (22). The analog output of the modulator (26) is connected to the input of the HF transformer (24). The output of the HF transformer is connected to the input of a demodulator. Simple amplitude modulation can be used in the modulator (22) to modulate the input signal to the frequency range of operation of the HF transformer (24). A simple low pass filter (26) may be incorporated in the demodulator to remove harmonic distortion caused by the HF transformer (24). The output signal of the demodulator (26) is substantially the same as input signal (21).

Description

Use high frequency transformer to carry out the DAA that electricity is isolated
Technical background
The present invention relates to be used for isolation barriers (isolationbarrier) that circuit is isolated from each other.This isolation barriers is used for modulator-demodulator and other equipment, is particularly useful for the equipment that those need the electric isolation barrier between equipment and the public telephone network.
Provide isolation barriers between the circuit that is directly connected to dwelling house electric power (being called " system end " circuit) of the circuit (being called " line scan pickup coil side " circuit) that Federal Communications Committee's part 68 requirement, being connected electrically in of public telephone network are directly connected to this net and for example modulator-demodulator etc.This isolation barriers must provide isolation, makes a 50Hz between each point of the equipment that is applied to or the kilovolt of 60Hz rms or 1,005 hectovolt spies' high-tension electricity potential source cause the leakage current that is no more than 10 milliamperes.
The theory of isolation barrier is well known in the prior art.For example, United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 137 at length discloses the theory and the background of isolation barrier No. 827, has comprised the patent that isolation barrier much is shown and uses the equipment of isolation barrier with way of reference.Usually, in the DAA (DAA) of equipment, provide electricity to isolate.U.S. Patent number 6,137,827 reach the patent that wherein comprises with way of reference, all are included in the content of this paper with way of reference.
Traditional modulator-demodulator uses voice band transformer that electric isolation barrier is provided in its DAA.This transformer carries and sends signal and received signal.Use a kind of mixed type circuit of be used to be coupled four-wire circuit and two-wire circuit, carry out the separation of these two signals.Hybrid circuit is to know in the prior art, and it has the quadruplet terminal that is arranged in two pairs, is designed to when wherein pair of terminal is suitably stopped, and produces high loss between another two right cover terminals.The modulator-demodulator of known use voice band transformer DAA has high reliability.Yet voice band transformer must be handled low frequency (LF) signal of about 100-4000Hz.
The main source of distortion is cause signal harmonic non-linear in the transformer.For voice band signal, a lot of harmonic waves drop in the identical 100-4000Hz frequency band.Signal harmonic is characterised in that on a plurality of required signal frequencies and has unnecessary energy.So the signal frequency component at 500Hz place will cause the noise of 1000Hz, 1500Hz, 2000Hz, 2500Hz, 3000Hz, 3500Hz and 4000Hz; All drop in the required signal band.On the other hand, if signal is modulated onto on the high frequency, 1MHz for example, so required signal will be at 0.996MHz in the scope of 1.004MHz.Now, the 500Hz component is on 0.9995MHz and 1.0005MHz.Minimum harmonic is at 1.9999MHz, just in time on highest signal frequency 1.004MHz.Therefore, simple low pass filter just can be used for harmonic carcellation, and will can not cause distortion in required signal.The linearity of transformer depends on the magnetic induction density of its magnetic core to a great extent.Magnetic induction density is high more, and the linearity of transformer is low more, and the energy of signal harmonic is high more.Therefore, dialogue change of tune depressor has proposed the requirement of high linearity, and this can increase its size and cost usually.
In addition, use the modulator-demodulator DAA of voice band transformer generally to use the direct driver means.In this means, directly move ahead from the transmission signal of modem driver, and need not further amplification by transformer.These direct driver means need transformer to transmit high transmitted power, have further increased the linearity requirement to transformer.Because have these defectives, the gratifying voice band transformer with this type of electrical isolation is that volume is big and expensive.
These are several approach that address this problem.A kind of approach is to use digital transformers or pulse transformer to replace voice band transformer.Yet numeral or pulse transformer are binary, therefore can not carry two signals-transmission signal and received signal simultaneously.In order to allow to send signal and received signal is sent acceptably, perhaps use two pulse transformers, one is used to send signal, and another is used for received signal, perhaps seek help from the time division multiplexing method of some kinds, alternately carry and send signal and received signal.Yet this time division multiplexing method will be destroyed motor synchronizing (self-clock) ability of signal.Therefore, clock signal will be carried by different devices, usually uses another transformer, and then has increased the surcharge of product.Another shortcoming of numeral or pulse transformer is that they must be operated in their saturation range, and this similar transformer than operation in their unsaturation (or " linearity ") scope needs more power.
Another kind of approach is to use capacitive coupling.This approach uses one or more high-voltage capacitors as electric isolation barrier, because capacitor generally presents the better linearity degree.Therefore, might use hybrid circuit to separate and send signal and received signal.On the other hand, the LF voice band signal that needs in the modulator-demodulator needs large capacitor.This high pressure large capacitor is expensive.Therefore, utilize some devices to modulate the signal on the upper frequency, reduce requirement capacitor.
Another kind of approach is to use high voltage optical couplers.Still because the exemplary height nonlinear characteristic of such optical device must be used to independent coupler send signal and received signal.In using the DAA of optical coupling, can use base band approach or pass band approach as electric isolation barrier.Under the situation of base band approach, voice band signal directly is sent out by optical coupler.Yet this has the nonlinear defective that needs good method to compensate optical coupler.Under the situation of pass band approach, use some devices to modulate the signal on the upper frequency, reduce the effect of nonlinear of optical coupler, thereby increased the extra cost and the complexity of this scheme.
The transmission that must send except the modulator-demodulator of the above-mentioned type and receiving the voice band signal also has control and status signal also to need by electric isolation barrier.These signals of mentioning later, or carry by independent isolation barrier, or multiplexed with voice band signal and carry by identical isolation barrier.
Summary of the invention
The linearity that we have investigated transformer depends on the magnetic induction density in its magnetic core to a great extent.Magnetic induction density is directly proportional with the power that this transformer is transmitted, and is inversely proportional to the volume of magnetic core, the number of turns and the signal frequency of transformer.In other words, signal power is more little, and magnetic core is big more, and wire circle is many more, and signal frequency is high more, and the linearity of transformer is high more so.In order to obtain identical linearity, less signal power and higher frequency will cause having less magnetic core and less wire circle in other words, thereby obtain less and not too expensive transformer.
The present invention uses two kinds of approach, obtains to use the low cost of a high frequency (HF) transformer, reliable electric isolation barrier.At first, we can add amplifier at the line scan pickup coil side of electric isolation barrier, reduce the power requirement to transformer.
Secondly, we use some devices to modulate the signal on the upper frequency.On upper frequency, by any harmonic wave of the non-linear generation of transformer all outside frequency band.Then, can use simple device, eliminate any remaining distortion that produces by transformer non-linearity.
Different with numeral or pulse transformer, the HF transformer is not driven to its saturation range.Therefore, the power ratio that realizes the present invention's needs uses traditional spacer assembly desired power of numeral or pulse transformer low.Equally, by at its range of linearity operation HF transformer, might carry transmission and received signal simultaneously by a transformer, and utilize the HF hybrid circuit to separate both direction.

The operation of DAA shown in Figure 4 and the operation of Fig. 3 are closely similar.In this case, have two HF transformers, one is used for the TX signal path.One is used for the RX signal path.Owing to have this separation, do not need high frequency hybrid.
Fig. 6 and 7 shows the use of the present invention in DAA uses, and wherein the CODEC circuit is distributed between line scan pickup coil side and the system end.The simulation of this circuit partly is positioned at line scan pickup coil side, and numerical portion is positioned at system end.At first, with the TX signal path of describing among Fig. 6.The modem signal that is sent on the circuit is sent to ∑-Δ (Sigma Delta) CODEC numerical portion 63 with digital form, ∑-Δ CODEC numerical portion 63 converts thereof into (over-sampled) 1 digital bit form of over-sampling, and sends it to MUX 62.Control-signals generator 61 sends to MUX 62 with the control signal of digital form.MUX 62 becomes a digital signal with two digital signal combination.MUX 62 comprises framing (framing) circuit, is convenient to carry out in line side circuit synchronously.In a preferred embodiment, the digital signal that is produced is the twice from the bit rate of 1 bit digital signal of the over-sampling of ∑-Δ CODEC numerical portion 63.The digital signal of combination is sent to modulator 66, and modulator 66 uses it to modulate high frequency analog signals, thereby produces passband signal.For example, this can finish by digital signal being multiply by the simulated clock simulation clock signal.The signal that is produced enters high frequency hybrid 68, and high frequency hybrid 68 is connected to high frequency transformer 69 with passband TX and passband RX signal.At the line scan pickup coil side of transformer, passband TX signal is by second high frequency hybrid 72.Then, passband TX signal is sent to clock recovery circuitry 71 and demodulator 73.Clock recovery circuitry 71 with the frequency lock of line scan pickup coil side demodulator 73 on the frequency of system end modulator 66.Demodulator 73 recovers the bit of combined digital signal.These bits are sent on the De-MUX76, and De-MUX 76 isolates digital controlled signal from 1 digital bit TX line signal of over-sampling.De-MUX 76 comprises the frame checkout gear, is used for correctly locating (align) data.This digital controlled signal is sent to control circuit 75, and over-sampling 1 digital bit TX line signal is sent to ∑-Δ CODEC simulation part and LF hybrid circuit 77, ∑-Δ CODEC simulation part and LF hybrid circuit 77 convert this 1 bit oversampled digital signal to analog form, and TX line signal and RX line signal are connected to line interface 80.Control circuit 75 changes the characteristic of line interface 80 based on control signal.Line interface 80 is connected to telephone network.
Now, with the RX signal path of describing among Fig. 6.Simulation RX line signal entry-line interface 80 from telephone network.From here, it is sent to ∑-Δ CODEC simulation part and LF hybrid circuit 77, and here it is separated from the TX line signal, and is converted into 1 digital bit form of over-sampling.Then, 1 bit digital signal of over-sampling is sent to MUX 78.State signal generator 79 sends to MUX 78 with digital state signal.The condition that these signals are based in the line interface 80 produces.MUX 78 becomes a digital signal with these two digital signal combination.MUX78 comprises framer circuit, is convenient to carry out in system side circuitry synchronously.Composite signal is sent to modulator 74, and modulator 74 uses this digital signal to modulate high frequency analog signals, thereby produces passband signal.The frequency of modulator 74 is locked on the frequency of demodulator 73.Passband signal enters high frequency hybrid 72, and high frequency hybrid 72 is connected to high frequency transformer 69 with passband TX and passband RX signal.At the system end of transformer, passband TX signal is by second high frequency hybrid 68.Then, passband RX signal is sent to demodulator 67, and demodulator 67 recovers the bit of combined digital signal.This digital signal is sent on the De-MUX 64, and De-MUX 64 isolates status bits from 1 digital bit RX line signal of over-sampling.De-MUX 76 comprises the frame checkout gear, is used for locator data correctly.This status signal is sent to status circuit 65, and status circuit 65 becomes these conversion of signals the numeral indication of modem system.For example, these digital indications can be the form of ring indication or the bit form in the status register.Over-sampling 1 digital bit RX line signal is sent to ∑-Δ CODEC numerical portion 63, and ∑-Δ CODEC numerical portion 63 converts thereof into the digital signal of modem system.
The operation of DAA shown in Figure 7 and operation shown in Figure 6 are closely similar.In this case, have two HF transformers, one is used for the TX signal path, and one is used for the RX signal path.Owing to have this separation, do not need high frequency hybrid.
The logical circuit of control
A lot of integrated DAA use integration control signal to carry out unusual branch (hook) control, line impedance control etc.The state of these integration control signals is programmed in the line side circuit by system side circuitry usually, and is preserved by line side circuit.Yet because line side circuit for example connects under the anti-situation at line voltage distribution usually by the line voltage distribution power supply, the interruption of line voltage distribution can destroy the state of control signal.Prevent that suffering the traditional approach of this destruction is to freeze the control signal state at this intercourse, perhaps powers from system end at least in part.In the present invention, use a kind of new way to come to preserve state of a control information, and often upgrade control signal at line scan pickup coil side at system end.Because the just control information of system for tracking end of line scan pickup coil side electricity, therefore this mode can logically form the control circuit of separation.Line side circuit is the retentive control state only, till upgrading next time.Time between the renewal is variable, usually on the microsecond order of magnitude.At intercourse, the state of a control of line scan pickup coil side may be destroyed temporarily.Yet renewal subsequently will make state of a control return to correct state.Under the situation that renewal stops, if system end sudden power for example, line side circuit will make its control signal return to default setting.This will prevent to occur a kind of like this defective in the programmable scheme, and promptly when system end took place to interrupt, line side circuit remained under the error condition.
Control/status signal and line signal multiplexed
In order to reduce the quantity of the HF transformer isolation barriers in using DAA of the present invention, preferred embodiment uses multiplexing scheme to make up TX and RX line signal and control and/or status signal.Usually, control signal and TX line signal is multiplexed, and status signal and RX line signal is multiplexed.In as Fig. 3 and 4 shown DAA, use the multiplexing scheme of simulation, usually, the signal with different frequency content is simply sued for peace.Demultiplexing is to use bank of filters to finish.In the embodiment of the Fig. 3 that uses a HF transformer by the HF hybrid circuit, use different frequencies for control with state, feasible echo from an end can not cause obscuring of another end.
In the DAA shown in Fig. 6 and 7, preferred embodiment uses the digital multiplex scheme.The digital multiplex scheme can provide two kinds of functions: the 1) mechanism of framing and the 2) mechanism of ∑-Δ clock recovery.For simplifier clock recovers, the bit rate that makes multiplexed data is the integral multiple of ∑-Δ clock frequency.In a preferred embodiment, multiplexed bit rate is the twice of ∑-Δ bit rate.This means that half bit in the multiplexed data stream can be used for control/state and framing.A kind of plain mode of allocation bit is to make each other bit be used for digital signal, and gives framing and control/state with remaining Bit Allocation in Discrete.
Suppose that 1 bit digital signal is 1 and 0 of a random distribution, and do not need framing.Therefore, only need framing bit to make state/control information synchronous.A kind of framing method that can use is that state/control information is divided into N group n bit.For framing, before each group n bit, add 0, before N group, add (n+1) individual 1.Synchronization mechanism can find that to follow 0 (n+1) thereafter individual 1, thereby detects frame.This pattern only can be used for a kind of location of frame; For state/control information, just have no chance to imitate this pattern.1 bit digital signal might be imitated this pattern, but because the stochastic behaviour of those signals, follow-up frame will can not imitate identical pattern.Have only real bit frame just can as one man mate this pattern.The framing efficient of this scheme can be calculated as n*N/[(n+1) * (N+1)].
In order to explain multiplexed and framing notion, suppose that frame is based on 32 bits.Select n=3 and N=3, so frame is made up of 16 bit digital signal, 7 bit framing and 9 bit status/controls.The bit stream that is produced is as follows:
Bit data 0 0 01 ?0 ?2 ?03 ?0 ?4 ?05 ?0 ?6 ?07 ?0 ?8 ?09 ?1 ?0 ?11 ?1 ?2 ?13 ?1 ?4 ?15

DD=1 bits digital data stream
[F 0F 1F 2F 3F 4F 5F 6]=1111000
S n=the n state/control bit
For the embodiment of the invention according to Fig. 6, need select different frame synchronization modes for TX with the RX direction, make any pattern in echo-signal, to occur.Because high frequency hybrid made up TX and RX signal, demodulator 67 and 73 it will be appreciated that respectively the signal echo from modulator 66 and 74.Hybrid circuit reduces echo level, but can not eliminate echo fully.For example, in Fig. 6, De-MUX 64 should not lock onto the combined digital signal from MUX 62; Only should lock onto combined digital signal from MUX 78.Also need to select frame synchronization mode, make the binary inverse (binary inverse) of synchronous mode of a direction can not appear on another direction.This is because the polarity of echo-signal is uncertain.Exist the possible frame synchronization mode that much satisfies these requirements right.An example below is shown:

N state/control bit of Sn=
For these frame synchronization modes, synchronization mechanism must be checked all 7 frame bits correct location in 32 bit frame.
Above-mentioned digital multiplex scheme can also be understood with reference to Fig. 9.In the figure, multiplexer 91 has two inputs: one be used for control or 92, one of status bits be used for 1 bit digital signal 93.The control of first quantity or status bits input framer 94, framer 94 makes up it with the frame pattern that is fixed into second number of bits, to form framer output 95.Framed mode is so to select, and makes that it indicates the correct framing position location of framing output bit onlyly for all combinations of state or control bit.Framer output 95 and 1 bit digital signal 93 input interleavers 96.Interleaver 96 takes out the bit of the 3rd quantity from framer output 95, the 3rd quantity equal first and second quantity and.Interleaver 96 interweaves the bit of the 3rd quantity with the bit of the corresponding quantity that is directly proportional of taking out from 1 bit digital signal input 93, form the 1 digital bit output 97 with the 4th quantity.
In a preferred embodiment, DAA as shown in Figure 6 uses two multiplexers, and each all has function as shown in Figure 9.It will be understood to those of skill in the art that the HF hybrid circuit among this DAA will make the demodulator of the same side that is in the HF transformer see the echo of modulator output.In common operation, recently the echo-signal from the modulator of the same side that is in the HF transformer is strong from the signal of the modulator of the other end that is in the HF transformer, so demodulator is decoded to correct bit.Yet if be in the not energising of circuit of the other end of HF transformer, demodulator can only be seen the echo-signal from the modulator of the same side that is in the HF transformer so.In this case, demultiplexer just might be seen the bit from the multiplexer of the same side that is in the HF transformer, rather than from the required bit of the other end.For this reason, preferred embodiment uses different framed mode for each multiplexer, makes that the framed mode of each end can prevent that multiplexer output from producing other end framed mode for any combination of control or status bits.In addition, because echo-signal may be inverted, each framed mode can prevent that multiplexer output from producing the logical inverse of other end framed mode.
